Operative part of the judgment
Article 146(1)(b) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax
must be interpreted as meaning that the exemption provided for in that provision covers a supply of goods initially declared by the supplier as an intra-Community supply which, without the supplier’s knowledge, was made outside the territory of the European Union by the person acquiring the goods, where the export at issue has been established by the tax authorities on the basis of the customs documents.
